-Ethanol.png "2-(2-Chloroethoxy) Ethanol STRUCTURAL FORMULA")
| 2-(2-Chloroethoxy) ethanol is a degradation product of Bis(2-Chloroethyl) Ether. 2-(2-Chloroethoxy) ethanol is a potential genotoxic impurity (PGI) in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). |
| In addition, it is a solvent for dyes, nitrocellulose, paints, inks, and resins. |
| It is a component of wood stains for wood, for setting the twist and conditioning yarns and cloth, in textile printing, textile soaps, lacquers, penetration enhancer in cosmetics, drying varnishes and enamels, and brake fluids. |
| It used to determine the saponification values of oils and as neutral solvent for mineral oil-soap and mineral oil-sulphated oil mixtures (giving fine dispersions in water). |
| Kept in Cool, ventilated area. Keep in closed & sealed container below 450C. |
| HDPE drum packaging (we can package depending upon customer requirements, e.g. 50 or 200kg). |
